Wind could be a factor. The current temperature is an unseasonably warm 54 degrees, but current winds are sustained around 25 miles per hour, and gusting up to 40 m.p.h. The forecast calls for those winds to dissipate slightly by kickoff, but they could still be strong enough to play a role in the kicking game. Meanwhile, temperatures are expected to drop considerably, into the mid-to-low 30s as the game progresses. There is no precipitation in the forecast, and any clouds are expected to clear out by game time.
